I have a PDF file. There's a bookmark A which contains 2 sub-bookmarks.

The content of the bookmark A has two pictures1 and 2.

The contents of sub-bookmarks B and C have the view of picture 1 and picture 2 each.

Bookmark- A ( Contains picture 1 and 2)

Sub-bookmark: B ( Picture 1)
Sub-bookmark: C (Picture 2)

If I use Adode Professional 7.0 to change the content of Bookmark A, the pictures in sub-bookmarks change automatically.

I think Sub-bookmark B and C just the different views of the Bookmark A. But how to make them. (I know how to make sub-bookmarks by inserting different content of a page)

Please help me out! Thanks!

Perhaps this will help.

With the PDF open, click on bookmark A.
In the PDF, select sub-bookmark B and right click with the mouse.
Select Properties.
In the Bookmark Properties dialog, select the Actions tab.
You will see two panes.
(1) Add an Action & (2) Actions
In (1) the Select Action is the default setting.
In (2) you most likely see:
Go to a page in this document
Page (the page number)
Zoom level: Custom

Select "Go to a page in this document", click on the Delete button.
Use the drop down menu for Select Action to select "Go to a page view."

Click "Add..."
The "Create Go to View" dialog appears.
You may want to drag it to the side.

From the Tool Bar, select the Marquee Zoom tool (magnifing glass with the dashed rectangle). If this is not present then right click on the tool bar banner and select the "Select & Zoom" entry.With the Marquee Zoom tool selected, left click and drag to box the first photo.
Release the mouse. You now have a zoomed in view of the first photo.

Back to the Create Go to View dialog.
Click on Set Link.

Back in the Bookmark Properties dialog now.
Click on the OK button.

You have now established a "custom" zoom level for bookmark B.
Save the PDF.

Repeat for bookmark C and photo 2.
Save the PDF.

Be well...

Dear Daka:

Thank you very much for taking time to write down all these in details clearly! I was really in cloud nine when I followed your steps and bought off it. I posted my problem in several BBS but no one could help me out except for you. You are wonderful.

Have a great day!
